 It is the policy of the Town of Riverhead to promote equal access to Town services, programs and activities as required by The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent federal, state and local laws, regulations and executive orders.  

Therefore, the Town, its departments, divisions and offices, plan, develop and implement programs, services and activities so that no person will be subject to discrimination.

In order to ensure that the Town is fully compliant with the law and any updates thereto, the Town Board has appointed Deputy Town Attorney Danielle Hurley as the Town's ADA and Title VI Coordinator. She works directly with department heads and staff to ensure full compliance with the law.
